if the answer to this is ð I might just go collapse in a corner and die somewhere

Could it have something to do with sleeping beauty pricking her hand?

A Princess will Crown the Bear (a prophecy) doesn't work.

Sleeping Beauty may be related - but if I know Heimdall, this'll be a little more Norse-y than that.

I think me we'll need some more clues unlocked for some context! I've added in my bit of chaos.

Something else I realized that may be obvious: it could be a literal hand or a hand in marriage

It's not Azor Ahai from game of thrones

Did you try Zelda? It’s possible.

Just musing on history for new players: We've never had a franchise have two riddles in a single Epic Week. And we've already done a Game of Thrones riddle.

Well try Odin wife. She very lovely she royalty she Norse. She does prophecy’s she even looks like sleeping beauty as she lovely. Plus uses and spinning wheel.
There also Greeks who have tons of princess related stories.

My significant other wanted me to try Witcher-related things because of the symbol. So we tried the answers Cirilla and Ithleenes prophecy. I have no idea what these things mean but he seemed to -- but no luck! They didn't work.

There is a Norse poem (adapted here) where Thor has to dress up like a woman (Freyja specifically) to get Mjolnir back after Loki gives the hammer to a giant. The giant demands Freyja's hand in return for the hammer. It may not be a prophecy, persay, but it does concern royalty and marriage. Of course, it doesn't end so well for the giant...

There's also this one regarding Brynhilde, a valkyrie in Norse myth but a princess in Germanic myth, her marriage and eventually her death.

That could work there a couple others like that. Of course. But that a good start.

Brave was another thing I tried...

It fits I think

I thought it may have something to do with the Witcher series as well but I've never played them... perhaps more clues need to be unlocked

The symbol here DOES look like the symbol of the witcher school of the wolf...

Maybe it has something to do with black sun? Gonna need more clues

Since seeing the symbol for it, I've also been in the 'It's Witcher related' boat.

I have literally just finished reading the Witcher series! I hope I can help on this one.

I tried Lady of the Lake and Ciri, cuz apparently Ciri is a child of prophecy but I guess she's not a princess? I've never played the games and just found out there's so much more than just the games. To anyone who has read this series, please help!
